- It's a measure of a human context, that is all.
And even if it were a thing, we still have the illusion of free will at any rate. Plenty of tools in the toolbox to avoid crippling existential crises.
Yeah. Even if it were a thing, is there a difference bewteen the indescernible illusion of a thing and the thing? The perfect illusion is also a perfect replica, or just a very similar thing in-of-itself.
IMHO when it comes to abstraction and materialism, it seems like it often has to be one or the other. Extending too far from one camp always leads to absurdities, which just reveals how they are faulty concepts to begin with.

Yeah, not sure I'd use absurdity as a litmus for veracity though :) I find quantum physics quite absurd (maybe that's just because I'm not a physicist). As an aside, my favorite part about the free will debate is that on one level, it is the very essence of an existential crisis that could shake you to the very core of your being (there is no 'you'!). On the other hand, you can just say "meh." and go about your day. Makes me smile.
